Have you tried using the little bluetooth cable extender? My slide remote is SOOO much faster than the IR remote. It's like night and day.

My first slide was flakey and slow; even with the cable extended. It acted like it had to reset the connection or something because there would be a big lag then multiple button presses would come through in a rush. (From what I've read here there were a number of people with problematic slides)

But I got a replacement and it's great; works noticable faster than the IR peanut and I don't have to worry about where it's pointing. Love it.

I stopped using my slide when the iPhone app got reliable. Gives me the keyboard when I need it.

Slide is just too sensitive and the Bluetooth dongle needed to occasionally be unplugged/ plugged in (though that was rumored to be fixed in later TiVo patch)

Their concept though should be applauded. Similar remotes like my Vizio TV one have just sucked

Good idea! I didn't even realize the iPhone app would give you a keyboard... guess that one should have been pretty obvious!! I hate using phones as regular remotes, but for the occasional keyboard use, it's actually a good option, as I'm already really, really good at iPhone typing. Heck, I could do the same thing with the MCE PC with the Logitech TouchMouse.

If anyone care (Which I don't blame you for not caring) I tried to chat with an Amazon rep today and she informed me that it wasn't coming. She offered to cancel my order and expedite shipping on the new one, you know the one that is listed for 99.99!! Not gonna happen. After chatting for a while she bumped my existing order to 1 day shipping but if the seller never gets one it won't matter. I'm bummed, I was hoping to use this with my new Tivo Mini.
